Dempster Hurls No-Hitter
Ryan Dempster was feeling calm about his no-hitter -- until the last three outs.

"You really become conscious of every pitch at that point," he said. "The adrenaline level kicks up even higher. Everybody in the ballpark knows a no-hitter is on the line. The crowd is on its feet. One mistake and it's all over."

There were no mistakes to be had for Dempster on this day at Safeco Field 1999-2012. The Seattle Mariners right-hander was in complete command, not allowing the Oakland Athletics a single base hit in the 5-0 victory.

"Obviously, you never think this will happen," he said to BNN reporters after the game. "I don't know if it's really sunk in yet."

Dempster faced 30 batters, had 4 strikeouts and gave up 4 walks in a dominating effort.

"He was on from the get-go," Athletics manager Oakland GM said. "He was hitting his spots and keeping us off balance. It was a great game by him."

So far this year Dempster has made 31 starts, tossed 192.2 innings, struck out 126 batters and walked 100. His record is 9-14 with a 5.19 ERA and he has limited opposing teams to a .267 batting average.
